C.I. keeps stuff I deleted -- Problem solved

[Bailey Weggins]

Hi!
I want to upload a house and checked it via Clean Installer to remove stuff the lot doesn't need by unchecking the boxes, then clicking save as and giving it a new name. I installed the cleaned lot again, just to see whether it works. It doesn't. The lot still looks exactly the same although in Clean Installer I removed a stove cabinet that I couldn't delete by selling or sledgehammering it.
Am I stupid?

Am I stupid?Yes. Clean Installer will remove superfluous rubbish from the lot package file. However, the item is still actually *THERE*, and since you HAVE the offending stove-cabinet-whatever-thing in your downloads, the game will display it. In a game where the object does NOT exist, the game will use a "fallback", often whatever the creator cloned it from, even when inappropriate, or the object will simply be absent. If you wish to remove a stuck object that refuses to respon to selling or sledgehammering, try turning move_objects 1 on first. If that doesn't work, you can try using the Stuck Object Remover (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/ts2/al/hacks/stuckobjectremover.zip) from More Awesome Than You (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com). Accept no Kewian-based substitutes!

The purpose of clean installer is simply to remove cruft from the distribution package so downloaders will not end up with dupes of assorted crap you have in your download directory or hacks they don't want that got sucked in by the EAxis packager. It does not actually remove objects from the lot or game, and those items will continue to appear if the downloader (in your case, YOU!) has them in their game already.

Thanks, J. M. Pescado. I didn't understand how Clean Installer works.
